Today we were back at Kings Kids Academy to do our first session of teaching! The day started well with a good breakfast, until we got a phonecall from Wandifa - the minibus had broken down. Luckily due to Wandifas many contacts we made it to school on time, via gambian "bus" and taxi. When we got to school we were straight in observing science revision. Grade 7 children have their english, maths and science exams next week. Our knowledge of consumers and producers is now well up to date!
We spent the rest of the morning observing lessons before being let loose into the classroom!!!! In our first taught session we were with grade 5 and we did art with a slightly scientific twist. We used felt and hessien to create flowers and labelled each part of the flower. Both the the students, teacher and ourselves had such a good time that we took up two lesson slots! We felt it was a very successful first lesson as the children by the end of the lesson could label the flowers and the materials they had been using. As we left the children asked if we could do some more art!!!!
This evening will involve drawing monkeys and butterflys, cutting out monkeys and butterflys ready for tomorrows teaching in the nursery part of Kings Kids.We will be using the book 'Night monkey day monkey'. Thanks for reading!!!!
